L-Theanine - is a special amino acid from green tea. It inhibits the binding of L- glutamic acid to glutamate receptors in the brain. Those receptors are responsible for pain and anxiety. By inhibiting excessive cortical neuron excitation L- theanine reduces stress and anxiety. L-theanine has also been shown to reduce blood-pressure during stressful situations.
Magnesium - deficiency causes an increase of the corticotropin releasing hormone and elevates ACTH (AdrenoCorticoTropic Hormone which initiates secretion of steroid hormones from the adrenal cortex) in the plasma. This is a mechanism whereby magnesium deficiency increases anxiety and should be reversed by dietary supplementation with magnesium.
Rhodiola rosea - is an herbal supplement used for decades in Eastern Europe to alleviate typical anxiety, depression, and insomnia. Controlled clinical studies for those subjects taking Rodolia extract have reported significant improvement in anxiety and depression symptoms.
GABA - it's full scientific name is gamma-amminobutyric acid, which occurs naturally in your brain. It functions as a neurotransmitter and helps regulate brain activity. GABA has an inhibitory function. It tends to slow down neuron activity. Without enough GABA, neurons fire too easily and too often. So by controlling the amount, you can calm the mind and body during anxious moments. GABA also works synergistically with magnesium, B6, and L Theanine.
